Thank you, Member Seeback.
Bill C-65 made some progress in this entire framework, but that time frame extension is still subject to the employer's approval. I would say it's a subjective process. You now have to go back and find all this information and you're often not given the benefit of the doubt. The employer holds the hammer to sort of crush you.
That's why this is important. It's to make it very clear that there is a two-year period. It removes the subjective decision-making from the employer. It gives those who face oppression in the workplace a little bit more time. My colleague, Mr. Morin, spoke about the six months. It's six months to 18 months for trauma recovery, and even longer for some people. Imagine going through that trauma and then having to come and justify yourself, find documents and make that representation. It even adds to and exacerbates that trauma.
